I haven't tried their sublimation stuff, but I do use the the 3rd party inks they used to sell through a different site on my 2200. I always wondered if I could just order bottles of ink and tell them if they even asked : 'oh yes I do in fact have a 9800'. Not that I'm saying you should do that :) xilvar WBirch wrote: > > xilvar wrote: > > You might consider sublimation intended inks such as the...

Thanks! I was hoping I could do that too. I saw that the 4x6 paper is very pricy. I have a nice trimmer too so I don't mind putting a few pix on one sheet. Do you need special software to do this? Katherine

This will provide some clue as to whether the problem is with the monitor setting (which is out of the loop in this comparison), or the workflow/profile.

Thanks for the pointer - not at all an obvious thing to do, but it seems to work! Hopefully Adobe will create a new category of template to allow doing this in a more straightforward way for LR3. Ray

Yes, in fact HP FA Smooth is better than any other paper I know, and works perfectly with Epson. The Satin is okay too. Use the Premium Lustre 260 profile for that and find a Hahnemuhle FA brightened paper for the HP media (for the 3800/3880 of course. Or find someone with a ColorMunki and make your own profiles.

Inkjet printing on Parchment Paper
Published (2009-11-01 07:15:00)
Papers, vinyls, canvas etc require specialized coatings to accept ink and then even more specialized coatings for transferring images. Are you using bakers parchment expecting to be able to make a T-shirt transfer? There are good reasons why your printer spits out 'unknown' stock, saving printer heads being damaged the main reason.

You might want to consider that HP appears to be strategically exiting the 'prosumer' business as part of their overall corporate refocusing. Even the amount of focus they'll be placing on their somewhat newer z series pro printers is somewhat questionable. The 8850 and 9180 are good printers, but I don't know if I'd personally want to go with a system where the manufacturer is quietly backing ...

Try taping a lead to it with plain paper. About 1/2" is about all that is needed.

It works fine. the smooth fine art should print fine with either the hahnemuhle photo rag ultra smooth profiles or the epson ultra smooth fine art profiles. There really isn't THAT much difference between how two structurally similar papers accept ink.

Thank you so much for the reply! Actually, I have gotten so busy with work that I have been putting off my project but after your review I think I might give them a try. I have been on the phone with their customer service and they do seem very friendly and helpful. I've got a large panorama (6'x2') I want to print on canvas. I will report back with my experiences. Cheers, Russ

iMac's are naturally waaay too bright and you can't w/o using supplemental software (like Coloreyes, Shades, BasicColor) get it down far enough. That's causing the problem. you can read any of 5 trillion threads on exactly the issue that an overly bright monitor results in overly dark prints. it has nothing to do w/ color calibration per-se and everything to do w/ brightness.

Curious about that printer too... For your other question... just feed 4x6 sheets into the printer, make sure you have borderless selected if that's what you want. No need to cut anything.
